Spotify Camp Nou – construction description

The redevelopment of Barcelona’s iconic Camp Nou includes the demolition of the third and highest tier of stands, which will be replaced with a new, larger one of uniform height around the entire bowl. As a result, Europe’s largest stadium will grow even further, surpassing the 100,000-seat mark.

The stadium will also receive a new roof covering all stands, as well as an eye-catching façade featuring three levels of wide, open terraces. The entire arena will undergo a thorough refurbishment and be equipped with cutting-edge technologies.

Plans for expanding Camp Nou date back to the early 21st century. After the failure of the first proposal from 2007, a new vision was developed as part of the broader Espai Barça program, which also includes investments in other FC Barcelona facilities.

Construction work at Camp Nou began in the summer of 2022, with only preliminary works taking place during the first year. It was only in the 2023/24 season, after the team relocated to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, that the redevelopment moved into full swing.

The project has been delayed by at least a year, with completion now expected no earlier than the summer of 2027. However, FC Barcelona is set to return to the stadium before that date, initially playing in front of a reduced-capacity crowd.
